A block-constructed display face with hard, quantized edges and squared-off curves. Forms are built from chunky rectangular modules with frequent step-like corners, producing a crisp, mechanical silhouette. Many glyphs incorporate deliberate notches and cut-ins (including diamond/hexagonal, slot-like counters in some characters), creating a distinctive, slightly “machined” rhythm. Proportions skew broad with a tall lowercase presence, and spacing reads compact and consistent, favoring dense, punchy word shapes.
It suits video game interfaces, HUD elements, pixel-art projects, and retro-tech headlines where a strong, digital voice is needed. It also works well for short, high-impact titles on posters, packaging, or music artwork that leans futuristic or arcade-inspired, especially when set at larger sizes where the internal cut-ins remain clear.
The font projects an arcade-era, sci-fi tone—assertive and functional, with a coded, terminal-like attitude. The notched details add a cyber-industrial flavor that feels game-centric and futuristic rather than friendly or literary.
The design appears intended to evoke classic bitmap lettering while adding a signature notched motif for recognizability. It prioritizes bold on-screen presence and a structured, digital texture over smooth curves or nuanced text readability.
Counters are generally rectangular and minimal, with several letters using small internal apertures that can close up at smaller sizes. The overall texture is heavy and uniform, and the angular substitutions for curves keep the style firmly digital and grid-driven.
